Stroll through the gardens and enjoy the stunning displays of trees, shrubs, perennials, and bulbs. With over 200,000 bulbs in bloom, the spring display of daffodils, orchids, and tulips is not to be missed. And if you’re looking for something extra unique, check out one of the many special events held throughout the year. One of the highlights of my visit was the art in the Garden. The handcrafted, one-of-a-kind objects seamlessly merge design and functionality, adding to the Garden’s rich tapestry of stories, tastes, and sounds. Overall, the Tulsa Botanic Garden is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
